A curvilinear ditch with banks either side is visible as an earthwork on images derived from lidar data captured in 2016. It is not depicted on the available historic mapping, although it is on the same alignment as a field boundary immediately to the south-east that is depicted on the late-19th century OS maps. However the double banks suggest it could be a hollow way of medieval or post-medieval date, which fell out of use by the mid-19th century.
